Chapter 96: "Day at the pool part 2"

**POV Tadano**

After returning, I found a pensive Nene sitting on one of the beds.

Tadano: "Oh? Nene, are you alone? Where are the kids?" I asked curiously.

Nene: "Kaede is helping with that..." she said softly.

Tadano: "I see..."

Nene: "So... do you think we could... have some time for ourselves?" she said timidly, a rosy blush spreading across her cheeks.

I raised an eyebrow at those words.

Tadano: "Oh? Do you want to go on the rides?" I said casually, ignoring the second meaning in her words.

Nene: "Mou∼ don't tease me, you know what I mean..." she said, puffing her cheeks in a cute pout.

She's adorable...

Tadano: "Haha... I don't know what you mean. I think you'll have to refresh my memory∼" I said in a provocative tone.

I watched her roll her eyes at my words. Then she cautiously looked around. After nodding in satisfaction, she approached me, now sitting on one of the beach chairs.

Nene: "Then... let me refresh your memory." She said as she took off her shirt, revealing her swimsuit.

A blue bikini that framed her breasts well. Though they weren't as large as Agari's, the bikini she wore made them stand out enough. She sat on my lap and wrapped her legs around my waist, like an octopus trapping its prey and refusing to let go. With a tempting glint in her eyes and a voice as sweet as honey, she whispered in my ear.

Nene: "Tell me, Hito-Kun∼, do you feel like spending some time with this older sister∼?" After finishing her words, she let out a hot breath in my ear.

It sent a shiver down my spine. Oh∼ she had done it. She had flipped all my switches at that moment. Nene seemed to sense my reaction and smiled coquettishly.

Nene: "Oh? What's wrong, Hito-Kun? You seem very eager∼" she said while rocking her hips, making our most sensitive parts rub against each other.

Tadano: "!!!"

Unable to contain myself anymore, I attacked her and started kissing her with wild abandon, without any worry in the world.

Nene: "Kya! Hmmm... Hito-Kun∼... Wait... let's go to a more... Hmmm... private place... Hmmm." She managed to say with difficulty.

With the last bit of rationality in me, I picked her up in my arms and looked for a secluded spot. Once we reached some showers a bit away from the rest of the attractions and I went inside, I let out all my desire on this charming older sister. With the sweet singing of a fairy and the overflowing heat of youth, a red flower bloomed in that shower, turning Nene from a girl into a woman. 

Nene and I had a very pleasant time in one of the most secluded showers in the park. By the time we came out, Nene's legs were trembling, so I carried her on my back. She had a defenseless expression on her face.

Nene: "You know, when Kaede told me you were a beast in this, I was really prepared. But who would've imagined you'd be this fierce? Damn, if it weren't getting late, you'd still be going at it. You really are a beast..." she said in a reproachful tone, but the growing smile on her face betrayed her true thoughts.

Tadano: "Hehe, it's worth mentioning that you were the one who provoked me, so I'm innocent. Now be obedient, we need to meet up with the others." I said in a playful tone.

Nene: "Innocent? Yeah, right..." she said, rolling her eyes and pulling my cheeks.

Tadano: "Hey! That hurts! Are you trying to kill your husband?" I complained.

Between jokes and jests, we approached the meeting point. Once we met up with the rest, we all decided to go on a sort of water roller coaster. By this point, Nene's siblings had been picked up by their parents. The first to get on were the trio of idiots. Actually, Shouko and Ai were supposed to go first, but Yamai was tired of their stupid chatter, so she pushed them first. Although I think she overdid it a bit with her strength, and poor Shinobino was sent flying into the sky, becoming a star in the distance.

Tadano: "We will always remember you..." I said to myself, imagining an image of Shinobino in the sky giving me a thumbs-up.

Setting aside the silly moment, it was Shouko and Ai's turn. Something noteworthy here was Yamai's peculiar behavior towards Ai. She put several floaters on her and made sure Shouko held her well before letting them go down the ride. Once everything was ready, they set off. It was fun to see Shouko and Ai's faces when they got off. Shouko's eyes were shining with excitement and a desire to go again. Ai, on the other hand, was very dizzy and shaky but seeing Shouko's expression, she decided to imitate her and hold on to her to get back on.

Next were Kaede and Nene. Kaede had a smug smile on her face while teasing Nene, who just blushed. I could guess what their topic of conversation was. Najimi pulled me and got on the ride, and before I could say anything, the boat started moving, letting out a cry of surprise. I proceeded to spend the next five most horrible minutes of my life. By the time the boat stopped, my legs felt like jelly. When I looked at Najimi beside me, she had already fainted. I sighed in annoyance and, doing my best to steady my legs, carried her to a nearby bench. Then I just watched the others go down the ride.

It was fun to watch the trio of Eiko, Amami, and Hoshio. Both Eiko and Hoshio clung to Amami like their lives depended on it. Amami, true to her helpful nature, was happy to assist and led them to a nearby bench, not far from me. 

Next were Agari and Inaka. Strangely enough, Agari didn't seem affected and looked very calm. So I watched the others go on the ride for a while. It wasn't until the afternoon that we all gathered for lunch. I had cooked a few bentos to share, but it seemed Kaede, Nene, and Shouko shared my idea, so it ended up being a sort of small feast for our group.

After eating, Najimi had the brilliant idea of having a water gun battle. It was fun watching her squirm after she got a cramp. By the time the sun was about to set, we were all on the train heading home. I was holding a sleeping Ai. When we arrived at our station, we all got off. After a cheerful goodbye, everyone took their own path home.

I helped Yamai carry Ai to her apartment. Once I laid her down, I prepared to leave but was stopped by a strangely behaving Yamai.

Yamai: "Do you really have to go?" she asked reluctantly.

Tadano: "Eh? Well, yes... I've been away for a while, and my mother will probably scold me for staying out so many days." I said with a bitter smile.

Yamai seemed conflicted but didn't insist. Her behavior seemed strange to me, but as long as she didn't revert to her previous psychotic behavior, I wouldn't pay it much attention. When I opened the door and was about to leave, she grabbed the hem of my jacket.

Yamai: "Wait..."

Tadano: "What... ?... Hmmm." I tried to ask but was surprised by an unexpected kiss from her. It was long and passionate. But before it escalated, she pulled away. While wiping the crystal-clear saliva hanging from the corner of her lips, she bid me farewell with a smile. A bit puzzled by her behavior but pressed for time, I said goodbye and headed home.

Tadano: "What's wrong with that girl?"

Shinomiya: "Stockholm Syndrome?"

...

**POV Yamai**

Damn idiot. You really don't understand anything...

I thought to myself as I watched him leave. My heart raced every time he was close. And though I should hate him, he really gave me a reason why that's not possible. I thought with some reluctance. Should I keep him? Maybe? Maybe not? I don't know...

I just know that I really don't want him to leave me. With confused thoughts swirling in my mind, I approached the room where my little piece of sunshine was resting. I really loved this girl. Since she arrived, she's done nothing but make my days so bright and fun. Maybe I should make her something tasty to take tomorrow. Now that I think about it, I saw her looking a lot at the karaage at the park's shop. Well, I think I have enough ingredients for that.

With those thoughts, I looked up a tutorial on YouTube to get an idea and started cooking with a smile on my face. Uhmm, maybe I should add a portion of salad for myself. Lately, I've been craving something acidic and fresh. I thought as I took the ingredients out of the fridge.

Author's Note: "Well, hello everyone. I'm not dead, nor have I abandoned this project. If you want to know, this author spent a week and a half sick with a fever and without the will to write or do anything. Then I had to go back to work and have been very tired these days, so I focused only on sleeping, eating, and taking medicine. I had to read a couple of chapters to get an idea of where I left off because even I got lost with how confused my head is. Well, now I'm somewhat okay, and although I don't know if I'll bring a chapter tomorrow, I promise one for Monday. I give thanks for the comments and collections to everyone supporting this little project. Having said all that, remember to drink plenty of water and know that I love you very much. Sincerely, your favorite depressed author."
